Tansy Roekaerts Poet Rhyme

Secret Lover

Suffusion of sadness so tender,
What I yearn for lies inside.
In bed you await me,
Together we will hide

from those who think we have a choice 
Or that one day you'll be gone. 
Believe you to be transient
A bus I can hop off and on! 

I marvel at the swell of you
So familiar yet never the same
I know you'll never leave me
Nor your power ever wane. 

In bed I shiver with anticipation 
For you're my only truth 
All else is farce, and only in your arms 
Can I cry as I did in youth. 

Accepting life would mean losing you 
So that line will never be crossed. 
Pain, my faithful, constant lover, Pain:
 All that remains from what I've lost.

Silent One September 7, 2020 at 7:59 AM Great first post on the soup... Tansy Roekaerts September 20, 2020 at 8:24 AM soup mail is convinced im trolling you so wont send LONDON, heritage half japanese. i really appreciate your support. more in a bit . Im a copy writer whose understanding of deadlines, appears to not be the norm. if every would realise that deadlines are an expression of wish, a hope, a desire like I understand them to be (and im not a f ING fairy so cant grant wishes so squash that c p), we would all be much happier. And this is what you call procrastination.
